Original Pegasus Project Info



Here is a link to the Original Pegasus Project, officially called the Niagara Reinforcement Interconnection Project.

NYRI never mentions this former ghost self; somehow when you legally become a "new" company you become a new "entity", and all older versions of yourself are completely wiped out of existence.

Interestingly the map doesn't even show the railroad route properly.
The map shows interconnection capacities. "1200 MW w/ Quebec which could be easily upgraded to 2000 MW."

NYRI Requests 13.5% ROE

On February 12, 2008, NYRI asked FERC for a guaranteed 13.5% rate of return on equity. The FERC Docket # is EL08-39.

Mr. Singer made a grammatical mistake on his March 28, 2008 submittal (rebuttal of all the intevenor protests). Page 29/49 (in ant event instead of "in any event"). I guess even Mr-Perfect-Barbie's Ken-Lawyer doesn't catch every typo.

With CD rates now less than inflation rates, and stock funds actually headed downwards many of us are essentially losing money (purchasing power). Wouldn't it be nice if the average US citizen could get a 13.5% guaranteed rate of return?
